Blues for Michael Garcia

I've been staring down the piano I bought last December for awhile and got out my "You Can Play Piano" book about a month ago. The "Notes on the Keyboard" explanation on page 4 was very helpful. I haven't re-opened it since. A few days later, as I was absorbing the news of Michael Garcia's death the night before, I started playing with a minor key blues thing that became, in my mind, his song. This one's for Michael.

pretty good post. I lawful stumbled upon your blog and wanted to command that I get really enjoyed reading your blog posts. Any condition I’ ll be subscribing to your maintain and I hope you despatch again soon christian louboutin platforms.

That is very nice of you to dedicate a song. I was particularly interested by the thought of playing the piano. It really allows me to lift myself up considering the fact that I suffer from bipolar disorder. The bipolar disorder test results turned my life around. It even got me to learn to play the instrument which really helps me calm down a lot.

You really make it appear so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really one thing which I believe I'd by no means understand. It kind of feels too complicated and extremely broad for me. I'm looking ahead in your subsequent submit, I'll attempt to get the hang of it!

You're so cool! I don't believe I have read through anything like that before. So good to discover another person with some genuine thoughts on this subject.Seriously.. thanks for starting this up.This site is something that is needed on the web, someone with some originality!

About Me

“Being is becoming,” and if we’re not “becoming,” we’re probably not doing much “being” either. This blog was started in a half-assed attempt at self-excavation. I have at least two unusual personality traits. The first is that I’m abnormally comfortable with ambiguity. I can happily muck about in the gray areas for years on end. This is probably why I love Seattle. The other is that I have a completely unrealistic belief in my own agency, which I tend to act upon. This blog has changed my life in more ways than I ever imagined. As my job as ED of a activist newspaper sold by homeless people, my vision for organizing, my thinking as a teacher, my history as a working-poor loser turned middle-class “advocate,” and my life as a parent swirled about me, this blog has been a path toward the center. We live in dangerous times, and the seductions to an easy, half-lived life of anesthetized materialism are all around. I have come to understand that my work is to be a revolutionary, both out in the world and within myself, turning over what is old, rotten, stale, and repressive, and building for a future where we can all find happiness and have the things we truly need.
